Government Control of the Curriculum: Some Archive and Recent Evidence.

Proctor, Nigel

British Educational Research Journal, v14 n2 p155-66 1988

In order to gain a perspective on how civil servants may influence the present movement toward a national curriculum, Proctor examines how civil servants influenced the shaping of the curriculum during the early 1900s by examining the fate of one school subject--geography. Depicts the ways decisions were made and the attitudes and prejudices of civil servants involved. (SLM)
